There was a good oped Friday in Xconomy by PhRMA Board Chairman Christopher Viehbacher and PhRMA's President and CEO John Castellani. They talk about the historic, long-term support that states like Massachusetts have provided to innovative industries and why continuing support is essential to building strong regional economies. They also point out that while state economies benefit from local efforts to spur and attract innovative sectors - like the biopharmaceutical research sector - first and foremost patients benefit from cutting-edge medical research and development.
